There are two fundamental reasons why we get defensive. If we understand these reasons—with a little bit of effort—we can stop being defensive. Defending ourselves when we really don’t need to is one of the last vestiges of immaturity. #1—We defend ourselves from certain “truths” The first reason we get defensive is because we believe […]
Do you have a healthy sex life? To answer that question you need to have a definition of “sexual health.” If your love making is great, maybe you don’t need to read any further, just go back to bed with your partner. But, if your love making and sex life aren’t completely satisfying, read on […]
Good days. Bad days. What’s the difference between the two? Why are there days when you have a generous attitude toward other people? You stop and let the other driver go first. You tell the person behind you in the check out lane at the grocery store—the one who only has three items when you […]

How to love, that’s the question. The answer is simple. It’s love, stupid! “It’s the economy, stupid” was a phrase in American politics widely used during Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 presidential campaign against George Bush.
